Re: Observations from the Saints Clutch Win Against the CowBoys
What. A. Win!
1. This win might be even sweeter than the one against the Seahawks. i can't stand neither team. 2. Vonn Bell has really hit a stride, 3 turnovers in 2 weeks i huge for us. The first penalty for roughing the passer I feel was a little ticky-tacky. 7 tackles, 3 assisted, 1 FF, 2 fumble recoveries, 1 pass defensed. This might have been his best game so far. 3. Our D held the reigning NFL rushing champ to 35 yds on 18 carries for a great average of 1.9 yds/carry. #nonfactor 4. Penalties, penalties, penalties, just too many of them. The number 9 should be halved atleast. The holdings are what irks me the most but they mostly come because the Cowboys have a stout DL. 5. Speaking of D-lines, our is becoming a real strength, not a lot of knockdowns or sacks but Dak didn't look comfortable at any time tonight. Elliot got hit at the LOS on most every play. Great job. 6. Lutz is money. Harris is a weapon and Morstead is a pro's pro. We finally have a very solid ST unit. 7. Finally a Murray sighting again. Only five touches but good to see him out there. If I'm correct two of his carries went for first downs. 8. Five sacks given up today by the O-line. I blame TB for some of them, he needs a little better pocket awareness and just throw it away. 9. As a whole TB did exactly what he is supposed to; he didn't lose the game. Again a completion percentage above 75%, making the safe throws. I ain't gonna blame him for the INT because that should be a catch. I think it rattled him a little thou because he looked better before it. 10. Michael Thomas is a quiet beast. ) more catches and another 95 yards. Still it feels almost like an off night for him. That's how good he is. Hill is the best TE on our roster right now. He might not be so all season long but right now he is. |
W.T. Sherman is my favorite General. After all he did order Atlanta to be burned to the ground.

Re: Observations from the Saints Clutch Win Against the CowBoys
This was the Saints' defense's debutante ball or coming out party, on national TV in prime time. Now everybody saw it, no one can deny it, and the Saints' defense is for real. Don't underestimate this win. The D put the league on notice.

7 tackles, 3 assisted, 1 FF, 2 fumble recoveries, 1 pass defensed. This might have been his best game so far. If I'm in the front office ... he will be a priority on the back end to re sign in New Orleans. Vonn improved from year to year and is consistent. Guess those scouts/coaches knew what they were doing all along to go up and get him in the draft from a few years ago. |

Re: Observations from the Saints Clutch Win Against the CowBoys
-Big win. Statement win.
-Teddy looks good and comfortable. -The defense is playing with great level effort. Hitting and swarming. Bordering on flying around like a bunch of crazed dogs. -Brown was a great FA signing. Huge in the middle. -Davis impacts the defense like Brees impacts the offense. -Harris had a hand in two of the field goals. One on special teams and one on offense. -A Cook and Murray sighting. -Thomas and Kamara shine even without gaudy stats. -Davenport's game has taken a step forward this season. -Lutz and Morstead are simply the best. -The OL, with the exception of Ram, got individually whipped a few times last night. -The officiating makes all games hard to watch. -Since the beginning of instant replay, the officials have refused to overturn a call on the field even when THERE IS clear evidence to the contrary. The point of instant replay is to get the call correct. What it was called on the field should have NO bearing. The Zeke fumble was not a fumble. Glad it went the Saints way, but more often than not it won't. Just get the call correct. -I didn't like Payton calling two timeouts when leading and the Cowboys looked content on going to the half. It worked out in his favor thanks to the ref's, but he has had that not work for him on multiple occasions in the past. -Humphrey was targeted one time and Carr not at all. That situation has to improve. -I was completely wrong about the outcome of the game and the performance of the Saints last night. They showed up and balled. |
